ADRIÁN S. BARÁ

Adrián S. Bará (b.1982, Mexico City) lives and works in New York. His practice, at its core, explores the body and its relation to space, architecture and structures that define everyday life. His work occupies an intermediary position between abstraction, figuration and site-specific sculpture, a practice in which a concern for materiality, space and the human body constitutes a central force. The artist’s training as a filmmaker drives his narrative— pulling in from daily materials and positions to construct ‘sculpted situations’ that are meant to be activated by viewers as they project their own accounts into the objects that invite them to do so. Bará’s artwork often functions as archival traces of events—as stories that are meant to be intervened, challenged and transformed through act of looking.
